Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Fingers Are Tingling, Feel Like Frost Bitten. Was Sewing Under AC. Have Tenderness In Upper Back. On Aleve. Suggestions?
Last week about 4:00 in the afternoon my fingers all were tingling like they were frost bitten. I had been sewing & thought that perhaps the AC was blowing on my hands. I quit for awhile, but was really chilled. This has never happened to me before. I am here in San Antonio & it has been over 100 every afternoon for several days now. It took about 40 minutes until I "thawed out." . Along with this numbness in the fingers, came a feeling of total listlessness, & tenderness across my upper back I took a couple of Aleve & just rested for about an hour. This numbness in my fingers happened again this afternoon, but it did not last as long as last week. I'm OK this evening. I don't know what is going on. This is so unlike me.
Hi.. Thanks for the query.. It could be because the Ac vents being directly facing your hand areas.. You can adjust the direction... You back pain is also due to bending forward while sewing.. Try to adjust your position so that your back is almost straight to avoid any compression of nerves.. Keep the AC off for q while to maintain temperature.. If it is frequent there can be deficiency of Vit B for which you can take supplements.. Hope your query has been answered.. Take care
